DIY: Steering Knuckle Bearing Repacking
Before you install new bearing into the knuckle, it is recommended you repack the grease.
Why? The oem grease is about 200˚F. Repacking with high pressure and high temp (800˚F - CV-2), will ensure max protection.
This will be part of my diy for replacing bearing, but making this separate in case folks do on their own too.

It's too bad you can't buy the bearings w/ the correct grease applied - excellent write up as always!

Agreed, When I get around to doing this, I'd pay to have someone pack them for me what say you Ciaka?
